Canon 80D Advantages:

AF System – The Canon 80D has 6 less AF points, but all of its 45 are cross-type, compared to 15 on the D750.

7 vs 6.5fps – A very small difference, but still an advantage

LCD Screen – It’s fully articulated unlike the D750 that can only tilt and swivel

Touchscreen – You can tap the LCD screen on the 80D and select your focus point, as well as navigate through the menus

Dual Pixel AF – The 80D has DPAF technology, which makes auto focusing for videos much more usable

Faster Max Shutter Speed – 1/8000 vs 1/4000

Buffer – 53 vs 40 for JPEG, 24 vs 10 for RAW

Flash Sync Speed – 1/250 vs 1/200

Built-in NFC

Less Expensive – The 80D’s body costs around $800 less

The Canon 80D is an APS-C camera which explains the lower price. Except for the sensor size, their specifications are quite similar so if you don’t care about having a FF sensor, you might want to get the 80D. 7fps, 45 AF points, a touchscreen LCD monitor with DPAF, a bigger RAW buffer and 1/8000 for when shooting outdoors with big apertures.

Nikon D750 Advantages:

Sensor Size – The D750 has a full frame sensor which is 1.6x bigger than the 80D’s APS-C sensor. This results in less noise at high ISO speeds and a shallower depth of field

High ISO Range – The D750 can go down to 50 and 51,200, 1 stop more than the 80D

LCD Size– 3.2″ vs 3.0″ with higher resolution

Viewfinder – 100% coverage

Dual Memory Cards – You can use 2 x SD cards which is great for having a backup card or simply using one to record videos

Battery Life – 270 shots longer

The Nikon D750 is a fantastic DSLR, well worth its price. If you want a DSLR with a full frame sensor, great image quality and low light performance, you will love it. The 24MP sensor has more resolution than most will ever need, especially if you rarely print your images big, the high ISO range is excellent, the tilting 3.2″ monitor helps a lot and you got 2 memory card slots. It can shoot at 6.5fps and lasts long enough to cover longer events such as weddings, concerts etc. (you still need backup batteries).
